The massive wings of the 777-300ER sliced through the desert heat haze. He flared. Too high, and he’d float. Too fast, and he’d blow the tires. The runway lights rushed up to meet him.

He felt the change in the yoke immediately. The flight controls were stiffer. He had to adjust his autopilot settings and manually pump the fuel to maintain center of gravity, as the auto system relied on the hydraulic pressure he just lost. The massive wings of the 777-300ER sliced through
He disengaged the parking brake. In the sim, the hydraulic pressure dropped, then stabilized. He monitored the N1 and N2 spool-ups of the massive GE90 engines. The Worldliner’s physics engine was unforgiving; if he introduced fuel too early during the start sequence, he’d hang the engine. He watched the dials like a hawk. N2 rotation... 25%... Fuel Control Switch ON. Too fast, and he’d blow the tires
He executed the fuel planning page. The ETA and fuel burn calculations populated the screen. The simulation modeled fuel expansion and temperature viscosity. If he didn't account for the -60°C temps at Flight Level 410, his reserves would be off. He double-checked the fuel jettison system, just in case.
The Worldliner’s ILS (Instrument Landing System) capture was notoriously sensitive. He disengaged the autopilot at 1,000 feet. This was the moment of truth.
